Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Acolyte's Wookiee Jedi breaks one of the oldest rules formed by Star Wars creator George Lucas. Set in Star Wars' High Republic Era, The Acolyte takes place around 100 years before Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. This means that the show adds a lot to the earliest parts of Star Wars' chronological timeline, aligning with the canon stories told in the multimedia initiative of The High Republic.
George Lucas Forbade Wookiee Jedi The Concept Of Wookiee Jedi Was Something Lucas Did Not Wish To Focus On The rule in question is that, for a time, George Lucas denied the creation of Wookiee Jedi in Star Wars. In The Acolyte, one of the show's main characters goes directly against this rule. This character is Kelnacca, a Wookiee Jedi who is central to the plot of The Acolyte's Jedi murders and a well-respected Master in the High Republic's Jedi ranks.
Star Wars Has Officially Given Up On Lucas' Wookiee Jedi Rule Force-Sensitive Wookiees Are Now A Part Of Star Wars Lore Thanks to Gungi's reappearance in Star Wars: The Bad Batch and Kelnacca's role in The Acolyte, Lucas' Wookiee Jedi rule has been completely shattered. For some, this may seem like flagrant disrespect of Lucas' vision despite the director reversing the rule himself in The Clone Wars.
